यात्रा शकुनाश्च
तस्मान्मनस्विनां यत्नात्फलहेतुर्मनोदयः ।उत्सवोपनयोद्वाहप्रतिष्ठाशौचसूतके ॥ ६७७ ॥
In the full Narada Purana (Purva Bhaga) this is chapter 56, verse 677.
So for strong-minded people, a glad mind is carefully kept as the cause of results. Do not march while these are unfinished. A festival, a thread ceremony, a wedding, an idol installation, or the impurity after a death or a birth.
Simple meaning: A glad mind brings results. Do not set out while a festival, wedding or period of ritual impurity is unfinished.
असमाप्ते न कुर्वीत यात्रां मर्त्यो जिजीविषुः ।
Do not set out during a buffalo-rat fight, a quarrel with your wife or her period.
वस्त्रादेः स्खलिते क्रोधे दुरुक्ते न व्रजेन्नृपः ।
Do not set out after a slip, in anger or after harsh words. Each direction has its food.
प्रागादिक्रमशो भुक्त्वा यातिं राजा जयत्यरीन् ।
Eating the food for his direction, the king wins. A food for each weekday begins: rice in milk, milk.
